Master Odell’s Secret Ex-wife novel Chapter 1226

Chapter 1226 Julie sighed. “With that feisty attitude of hers, she would have caused a scene in front of John if she didn‘t get the pills.”

The sudden epiphany rushed into Emerence’s head. She added, “Ms. Julie, you are really a meticulous person. It is the Stockton family‘s honor to have you in charge of the house.”

Julie smiled. “Aunt Emerence, please don’t flatter me. I‘m just glad that I can share the burden with Mother and John.”

Emerence was moved by Julie‘s caring and sentimental side. “If only you were Master John‘s wife, the Stocktons would have thrived in harmony and peace.”

Julie‘s gaze shifted. She wore a strict expression and said,

“Nonsense. John has a family now, and I‘m his sister–in – law.”

Emerence immediately realized that she had used the wrong words at the wrong time. She immediately apologized, “I‘m sorry, Ms. Julie. I didn‘t mean it. I‘m just moved by your personality and capabilities. No one can better take charge of the house than you.”

Julie’s gaze softened, and so did her tone. “Aunt Emerence, I‘m telling you this because I treat you as one

of my own. I‘ll pretend that I didn‘t hear anything today, so please refrain from saying something like that again in the future, especially not in front of anyone. Do you understand?”

Emerence sighed a breath of relief. “I understand, Ms. Julie! I promise I won‘t say something like that again!”

Julie smiled. “You can go back to your work now. Keep an eye on Sherry. If she has any other requests, try to satisfy her.”

She left after that.

Seeing her off, Emerence grumbled in her heart, ‘It has almost been six years now since the second master passed away. I remember they were newlyweds when that happened. Given his medical condition, I believe they hadn‘t even made love yet, and she became widowed. She‘s still so young. Is she going to be a widow for the rest of her life?

‘Was it because she couldn‘t bear letting go of the title? If she really wished to continue to be Mrs. Stockton , why didn‘t she go after Master John?‘

The complexity of the matter was not something a mere employee like her could figure out.

In the past two days that she spent at home, not only Madam Stockton and Julie, but even the maids looked at her differently. Some of them even despised her for her fake personality. Her gentle and caring side was nothing but a front.
